I'm using it for some internal systems at work and I feel there's nothing like it.
NixOS gives a level of reproducability that other tools like Ansible won't ever be able to give you.
This reproducability means it makes debugging problems very easy: E.g. uncomment a line in the config and see if something starts working again. You can nearly undo everything cleanly in NixOS by just doing that.
On the other hand the learning curve really is pretty steep. Took me about half a year to get to a point where I understood it enough to be able to debug most errors.
